The best quoting system for your business is one that drastically reduces quote creation time, automates follow-ups, and helps you close sales faster. Depending on the volume of quotes your company sends, the level of customization your products and services require, your sales team size, and the functionalities and reports you need, one system will be more suitable than another.
For distributors and B2B companies that send multiple quotes daily, specialized solutions like Osmos enable quoting up to 10 times faster than traditional methods, automate customer follow-up, and help you close more sales consistently.
Visual guide to choosing your quoting system
Why You Need a Specialized Quoting System
If your business sends quotes frequently, you probably face these common problems:
Excessive time creating quotes: 15-45 minutes using Excel or Word
Lack of follow-ups: 80% of sales require 5+ follow-ups, but salespeople only make 2
Calculation errors: mistakes in pricing, discounts, or taxes that cost money and reputation
Lack of visibility: you don't know if the client opened, reviewed, or ignored your quote
Disconnected process: rewriting data into orders, invoices, and CRMs
A specialized system eliminates these bottlenecks and allows your team to focus on selling, not administrative tasks.
